Pattern 1: a remote MCP server (URL)
Hosts with native remote MCP support or a custom-connector UI take the URL directly. Add a new MCP server (or connector) and set its URL tohttps://mcp.contenthero.ai. The first call opens the OAuth consent page; sign in and approve. No API key needed.
This covers most app-based and IDE hosts, for example Lovable, Superhuman, and others with a connector or mcp.json-style config.
Pattern 2: the stdio bridge
Hosts that only speak stdio can reach the hosted server throughmcp-remote, which handles OAuth and bridges to stdio:
Verify
Ask your agent to read your ContentHero balance (get_balance) or list your brand kits (list_brand_kits). A clean read confirms the connection.
Prefer the CLI instead
If your host has a shell but no MCP support, use the CLI:npm install -g @contenthero/cli then contenthero login. It drives the same surface.
